Agency Narrative: Provide a description of the applicant organization, and if applicable, any co-sponsor or supporting organization, including the year it was founded, its mission, and major accomplishments. Describe the applicant agency’s experience in shelter operations, management, and human services, as well as the age of the shelter proposed for repairs, the agency’s difficulty in securing alternative funding for the repairs, and the agency’s experience servicing the community. Provide other information that demonstrates the applicant’s capacity to carry out the proposed project such as information regarding the applicant’s experience with special needs populations proposed for the project.

In addition to each narrative, for each entity involved in the project (applicant, co-applicant, and supporting organization), please refer to the matrix on the next page and attach the required information, as applicable, unless available through the Grants Gateway Document Vault. Shaded areas indicate that the item is not available through the Grants Gateway Document Vault and must be included with the application. Please note that although current financial statements are among the items available in the Document Vault, HHAC requires that a copy of the organization’s current financial statements, as well as the financial statements from the previous fiscal year, be included with the application, including the Single Audit (U.S. Office of Management and Budget OMB circular Uniform Guidance Audit), if required.

As a reminder, HHAP is restricted to only contracting with non-profit entities or their wholly-owned subsidiaries, municipalities, public corporations, charitable organizations or their wholly-owned subsidiaries, or qualifying jointly-owned entities. Any proposed contracting entity structure that is essentially for-profit in nature or that cannot be characterized as having a non-profit with majority interest and control cannot be considered for funding under this RFP.

*A Certificate of Good Standing can be obtained from the NYS Department of State (dos.state.ny.us). Please allow sufficient time to order the Certificate to ensure that it is included in the application and make sure to order the long form, rather than the short form, which lists only name change amendments.

**The NYS Attorney General’s Office has determined that any organization whose incorporated name carries a sectarian moniker must list itself as a sectarian organization. This includes all YWCA/YMCA’s, Catholic Charities, and organizations that carry the names of saints, biblical figures, etc. Designation as a sectarian organization will not adversely affect the proposal as long as the form indicates that the applicant will not discriminate in providing services.

***It is HHAC’s responsibility to determine whether in its opinion applicants appear financially stable, not only currently, but also over the life of the project. As such, we will closely scrutinize the financial information provided and evaluate whether applicants possess the organizational infrastructure necessary to both develop the HHAP project and successfully maintain it for the contractually-mandated period of time. The financial statements should present a classified balance sheet identifying current assets and current liabilities, as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Any management letters issued should also be provided.

To complete the financial review, HHAC must understand the financial impact of affiliated organizations on the applicant. Therefore, please provide:

- a list of affiliates, their purpose, any significant contingencies and the relationship of the affiliate to the applicant; and

- the consolidated audit and the separate audited financial statements of any significant affiliate if not included in the consolidated audit statements provided above.

Note: Please remember that the audited financial statement must stand on its own. Do not assume that the reviewers know anything about the applicant organization. Therefore, if the applicant’s financial statements are more than one-year old or contain information that may reasonably imply that the applicant organization is or may be experiencing financial difficulties (i.e., negative working capital, maximized line(s) of credit, audit findings, pending lawsuits, etc.), a narrative explanation of fiscal standing must be included.

Faith-Based (Sectarian) Organization Compliance Checklist

YES NO

1) Is the applicant agency a faith-based (sectarian) organization? (For example,

a corporation organized under the religious corporation law or a corporation

which has as a corporate purpose the provision of services to a particular religious

group or promoting the doctrine of a particular religion or religion in general.)

2) Are any of the services proposed in this application sectarian in nature?

3) Does the applicant have as its goal the furthering of any sectarian purpose?

4) Are services to be provided by sectarian staff (clergy)?

5) Are services being delivered in a building owned by a faith-based organization?

6) Will the proposed services be provided on the basis of race, religion, color or

national origin?

If any of the above answers if yes, below please provide specific information relating to the response.

POLICY STATEMENT

M/WBE AND EEO POLICY STATEMENT

I, , the (awardee/contractor) agree to adopt the following policies with respect to the project being developed or services rendered at

[pic]

[pic] [pic]

This organization will and will cause its contractors and subcontractors to take good faith actions to achieve the M/WBE contract participations goals set by the State for that area in which the State-funded project is located, by taking the following steps:

1) Actively and affirmatively solicit bids for contracts and subcontracts from qualified State certified MBEs or WBEs, including solicitations to M/WBE contractor associations.

2) Request a list of State-certified M/WBEs from AGENCY and solicit bids from them directly.

3) Ensure that plans, specifications, request for proposals and other documents used to secure bids will be made available in sufficient time for review by prospective M/WBEs.

4) Where feasible, divide the work into smaller portions to enhanced participations by M/WBEs and encourage the formation of joint venture and other partnerships among M/WBE contractors to enhance their participation.

5) Document and maintain records of bid solicitation, including those to M/WBEs and the results thereof. The Contractor will also maintain records of actions that its subcontractors have taken toward meeting M/WBE contract participation goals.

M/WBE GOAL REQUIREMENTS

CERTIFICATION OF GOOD FAITH EFFORTS

Contractors (to include those who submit bids/proposals in an effort to be selected for contract award as well as those successful bidders/proposers with whom OTDA enters into State contracts) must document “good faith efforts” to provide meaningful participation by New York State Certified M/WBE subcontractors or suppliers/vendors in the performance of this contract.

The undersigned hereby acknowledges that he/she took or may need to take the following actions on behalf of the Contractor to demonstrate, and upon request by OTDA, to provide written verification to document the aforesaid good faith efforts:

a) The Contractor attended any pre-bid, pre-award, or other meetings scheduled by the contracting agency or the NYS Department of Economic Development or its designee to inform certified minority- or women-owned business enterprises of contracting and subcontracting opportunities available on the project, for purposes of complying with contract participation goal requirements;

b) The Contractor identified economically feasible units of the project that could be contracted or subcontracted to certified minority- and women-owned business enterprises in order to increase the likelihood of participation by such enterprises on the contract;

c) The Contractor undertook efforts to reasonably structure the contract scope of work for purposes of subcontracting with certified minority- and- women-owned business enterprises;

d) The Contractor advertised in a timely fashion and in appropriate general circulation, trade and minority- and women-oriented publications, if any, concerning the contracting or subcontracting opportunity;

e) The Contractor made written solicitations in a timely fashion to a reasonable number of certified minority- and women- owned business enterprises identified from current certified lists of such business enterprises provided or maintained by the NYS Empire State Development’s Division of Minority and Women Owned Business Development, or its designee, of the contracting or subcontracting opportunity. The directory of certified businesses can be viewed at:

f) The Contractor can document if any timely responses to any such advertisements and solicitations were provided by certified minority- and women-owned business enterprises;

g) The Contractor followed-up initial solicitations by contacting the enterprises to determine whether the enterprises were interested in such contracting or subcontracting opportunity;

h) The Contractor provided interested certified minority- and women-owned business enterprises in a timely fashion with adequate information about the plans, specifications or terms and conditions of the State contract and requirements for the contracting or subcontracting opportunity so as to prepare an informed response to a contractor solicitation;

i) The Contractor submitted a completed, acceptable utilization plan in accordance with applicable requirements to meet goals for participation of certified minority-and women-owned business enterprises established in the State contract;

j) The Contractor used the services of community organizations, contractor groups, state and federal business assistance offices and other organizations identified by the NYS Department of Economic Development or its designee that provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of minority and women business enterprises;

(k) The Contractor negotiated in good faith with certified minority- and women-owned business enterprises submitting bids, proposals, or quotations and did not, without justifiable reason, reject as unsatisfactory any bids, proposals or quotations prepared by any certified minority- or women-owned business enterprise. "Good faith" negotiating means engaging in good faith discussions with certified minority- or women-owned business enterprises about the nature of the work, scheduling, requirements for special equipment, opportunities for dividing of work among the bidders, proposers, and various subcontractors and the bids of the minority or women businesses, including sharing with them any cost estimates from the request for proposal or invitation to bid documents, if available; and,

(l) The Contractor undertook efforts to make payments for any work performed by certified minority- and women-owned business enterprises in a timely fashion so as to facilitate continued performance by certified minority- and women-owned business enterprises.

USE OF SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES

Article 17-B of the Executive Law enacted in 2014 acknowledges that Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOBs) strongly contribute to the economies of the State and the nation. As defenders of our nation and in recognition of their economic activity in doing business in New York State, bidders/proposers for this contract for commodities, services or technology are strongly encouraged and expected to consider SDVOBs in the fulfillment of the requirements of the contract. Such partnering may be as subcontractors, suppliers, protégés or other supporting roles. SDVOBs can be readily identified on the directory of certified businesses at .

Bidders/ proposers need to be aware that all authorized users of this contract will be strongly encouraged to the maximum extent practical and consistent with legal requirements of the State Finance Law and the Executive Law to use responsible and responsive SDVOBs in purchasing and utilizing commodities, services and technology that are of equal quality and functionality to those that may be obtained from non-SDVOBs. Furthermore, bidders/proposers are reminded that they must continue to utilize small, minority and women-owned businesses consistent with current State law.

Utilizing SDVOBs in State contracts will help create more private sector jobs, rebuild New York State’s infrastructure, and maximize economic activity to the mutual benefit of the contractor and its SDVOB partners. SDVOBs will promote the contractor’s optimal performance under the contract, thereby fully benefiting the public-sector programs that are supported by associated public procurements.

Public procurements can drive and improve the State’s economic engine through promotion of the use of SDVOBs by its contractors. The State, therefore, expects bidders/proposers to provide maximum assistance to SDVOBs in their contract performance. The potential participation by all kinds of SDVOBs will deliver great value to the State and its taxpayers.

Bidders/ proposers will complete and submit a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) Utilization Plan (SDVOB-100), to demonstrate their proposed utilization of NYS certified SDVOBs as part of their bid/proposal. However, if after making a good faith effort to achieve the SDVOB participation goal, applicants are unable to achieve the SDVOB participation goal, they may submit an Application for Waiver of SDVOB Participation Goal.

For more detailed information regarding the SDVOB participation requirements, please refer to Appendix F of the RFP.

Note: Information about set asides for SDVOB participation in public procurement can be found which provides guidance for State agencies in making determinations and administering set asides for procurements from SDVOBs.

State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) Submission and

State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) (Page 1 of 2)

1. All applicants must complete the SHPO’s online CRIS process on the State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation’s website for eligibility review prior to submitting the application. Please submit all projects directly into CRIS.  You will find a link to the system and a link to a tutorial on their website at -- shpo/online-tools/.   

While you can submit projects as a guest, registering will save time in the future if you are going to be working with the system on a long-term basis.  See information at the end regarding registration.  Several tips: 

• Begin by using the “Submit” tab on the landing page and choosing “Consultation Project.”

• Please include contact information for anyone who should receive communication about findings, and that includes staff at any permitting or funding agency (*Please specify that an application is being submitted to HHAP).  For SEQRA submissions, it is important to include a contact for the municipality, such as the chair of the planning board and/or planning staff. 

• For projects submitted as a SEQRA Lead Agency notice, please clarify whether there will be additional permits or sources of funding involved in future phases of the project.  If it is likely that the development will require a state or federal permit in a later phase (such as a DEC or Army Corps permit) we may review the project under Section 14.09 or 106.  Provide contact information for the agency or agencies involved. 

• Always provide a description of the project.  When uploading materials, be sure to wait until Step 5 to submit your project documents such as a scope of work and maps. 

• Under the Built Resources section, place the photos for any buildings.  Do not place any scopes of work or maps in this section, but wait until Step 5.  When uploading photos and materials for buildings, include any outbuildings or related structures under the same resource.  Do not create a separate built resource entry for garages, sheds, walls. etc.

• If you have a question regarding a project and would like to check with SHPO staff before submitting materials, you will be able to find contacts for each county at .

SHPO currently recommends that new registered users create personal ID accounts (rather than business or government ID accounts) using their preferred email address for SHPO correspondence, since personal accounts do not require agency approval to activate. Some agencies’ services distinguish the three different account types, but CRIS does not.

The first time you log into CRIS with a ID account, you will automatically be added to the CRIS user database. After you have logged in, you may click the My Profile link in the upper right corner of the CRIS page to edit your contact information (such as organization, address, and phone number). This information will automatically be entered in the primary contact form when you start a new submission.

If you need assistance using CRIS, contact the help desk at CRISHelp@parks..

Please include in your application proof of the electronic submission to CRIS.
